Dear colleagues
Some might be interested in this attempt to demystify entropy and its main interpretations in the context of cities:
Entropy and the City: Origins, trajectories and explorations of the concept in urban science
https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.15199
Our brief critique of recent approaches to street network entropy might be particularly interesting within the space syntax community.
Other subjects include using the concept of entropy to understand spatial segregation and urban sustainability and our hypotheses about how societies endure and manage entropy by creating, exploring, stressing, and improving urban structures and engaging
in cooperation processes (featured in our earlier works, e.g. https://doi.org/10.3390/e20110834).
This is a preprint of a chapter for the Compendium of Urban Complexity (Springer Nature, forthcoming).
Comments and suggestions would be most welcome.
Best wishes,
Vini
